Holiday Inn Kandooma Resort

Holiday Inn Kandooma Resort is located in South Male Atoll.

Maldives consists of approximately 1,192 islands and  they're divided 26 atolls. Some of the islands are so small, they're not inhabited. And most of the islands are so tiny, the resort own the entire island. The island that Holiday Inn owns, is Kandooma Island.

Holiday Inn Kandooma is approximately 45 minutes boat ride away from Male Airport. And the return boat ride for an adult cost USD209! (It costed more than my air ticket)

Anyway, let me try to start this with a proper arrangement.

Service:
Due to my "special condition", I've informed the hotel reception a day earlier and hope that they take note of it. Well, they take more than just a note.

When we arrived in the airport, the hotel was already there to pick us up. They took our luggages, tagged them, knew right away that I have two different bookings (because different room types), and already giving me some privileges, i.e. best spot on the boat, extra caring, more water and more towels :P

During our stay, we complained that there was no wifi signal in the room. We didn't expect anything because we did notice they're repairing the cables in the island. Therefore, when they asked us to call the counter when we're back to the room, we didn't really bother. The next morning, I went to the counter to look for my lost hat, and I mentioned the room number. Immediately the attentive receptionist recognized the room number, and passed us a small portable wifi. Whoa! Impressed!

Besides, on our last day, we were given early check in to the new luxury room, and late check out due to the late night flight, for free! ^^ Can't be more happy than that!

But sometimes they can be too enthusiastic, almost everyday the receptionist would call us in the room to ask if we're satisfied with the room, if we need anything etc. Well, I mean, I would tell you if I need anything... Don't need to call me everyday :P

The Room:
We've stayed in two different types of rooms. The first few nights in Beach Villa.

The very welcoming bed

Coffee counter and the rest

Outdoor shower :)

Coffee counter, with 6 complimentary oranges everyday

Hammock outside the room

If hammock is not your thing, there's also sofa

Outside the room, facing the seaside

The last night, we stayed in Overwater Villa.

The bed and living room

The path that leads to hammock and the sea

The "outdoor" bath tub

Going back to the room

The "outdoor" shower

Balcony

I have nothing to complain about the room (except for the price). The view was fantastic, anytime anyday. If studies show that blue color is good for your eyes, I have the best eyesight for the 5 days stay in Maldives. Everyday we're flooded with different shades of blue.

However, if you ever wanted to stay in Holiday Inn Kandooma, I will advice you not to take the bigger beach villa as shown below.

Bigger beach villa

The space of this bigger unit was double the beach villa we stayed in. However, the ground floor is completely wasted. It is plainly a hang out area, with hammock, sofas, tables and chairs. The upper level is where you sleep. But the effective space was essentially similar to the beach villa we stayed in. Not worth the price seriously.

The Food:
The food was a ripped off too. Because you're totally depending on the resort to provide you food. You have nowhere else to go, unless you go for a fishing trip, which was still, under the resort.

So, we paid for half board when we booked the room. I can't remember how much was that, but it's definitely not worth for what we have eat but that's the only choice you've got. The breakfast was nice (phew..), I liked the breakfast so I normally spend a lot of time in the morning to enjoy the food and fill my tummy.

Kandooma Cafe which we had our daily breakfast and dinner 

However, the dinner wasn't so great. It has its ups and downs. The best thing we had was the Penang Hokkien Mee that the executive chef cooked specially for us. Other than that, I can only remember the Indian Food buffet one of the nights.

There are other choice of restaurants, i.e. the pizza place (I forgot the name), the "atas" fine-dining restaurant, the bar etc. But the most economical was always the buffet.

Overall, we had very pleasant stay in Holiday Inn Kandooma.

There was only one thing that we really have to minus off the point, was the change of service immediately after the check out. Even though with a late check out, we still have to spend approximately 4 hours in the common area. While we're waiting, the weather was so hot I couldn't take it anymore so I asked for water from the receptionist. And guess what, I was asked to purchase from the souvenir store, which costed me USD3 for 500ml!

Bummer!

When we checked in, we're the kings and queens in the resort. When we checked out, even still within the premises, nah..... lady, you're on your own!

This would probably be my biggest complaint over the entire stay. Other than that, it was really a very relaxing holiday, and healthy too!

头晕晕

头晕晕，晕车晕船是我怀胎以来，新加入的身体变化。

农历新年以后，我因为工作的关系，需要到柔佛走一趟。一开始上路，我已经稍微不舒服。到了关卡，开始堵车，我的胃更是快翻了。一旦过了马来西亚关卡，我请同事让我坐前座才稍微变好。

心里一直在想，是不是怀孕了，身体开始不适应才出现晕车的状况？

晕车已经很痛苦了，那趟路程还特别的堵车，来回新加坡柔佛，花了我们四个小时。结果回到办公室，我已经晕陀陀了。

怀孕前的我，可是在车上看书的人。这种变化对我来说，非同小可。

还好，没有晕飞机（摸木！）。

不过，晕船是另一回事。到了马里机场，酒店员工已经准备接待。飞到马里之前，我已经交待过我怀孕的状况。酒店的服务特别的好，已经做好准备特别招待我。可是，再怎么好的招待，天空突然下起雨来，也不是他们可以控制的。

一般从机场到酒店的船程要45分钟，而我们大概用了两倍的时间。不过，我们在船上还不到15分钟吧，开始行雷闪电，下起大雨来。原本平静的海洋突然颠覆起来。我的胃开始很辛苦地撑住。

抵达马里的那个晚上，我们乘搭的船只大概象上图一般大小。说大不大，说小也不小，肯定可以乘载大约15人。

最糟糕的便是GPS在大雨中失灵了，没有了GPS，因为大雨而看不到前方的路，船只无法前行，只好在海中摇摇晃晃。三两下之后，我就开始吐。把我怀孕以来，第一次的孕吐奉献给印度洋。全程，总共吐了两次。

还好隔几天，天气都特别合作，乘船出海不再有状况。不过，因为这些新添加的状况，我也变得比较小心。要是乘车出远门，我会带点酸梅等类的食品在身上，以防再出状况。

先是口味的转变，再来motion sickness，接下来还有什么在等待？

一碗Penang Hokkien Mee

入住Holiday Inn Kandooma的第一晚，我们收到了邀请函，邀请我们到隔天傍晚Diving Centre的Welcome Party。我们在岛上，闲着也是闲着，倒不如去看看那里是什么状况。

我们不善交际，拿着一杯饮料自个儿在那里闲着。可是哦，酒店的员工可不会让我们闲着，很快就一眼被盯上，结果不同不同部门的经理啊等等就来聊天。我也趁机向他们了解马尔代夫。

正当我们准备离去，我们听见有一群人在用槟城的福建华交谈。很好奇，男人就问问他们是不是槟城人，也自我介绍我们都是槟城来的。那一群人当中，有位男士是玻璃市来的，不过从小在槟城长大，算是位老槟城。还有一位女士，甚至是大山脚来的，还同一个Taman，世界真的太小了。

那位男士名叫Vincent Tan。他是酒店的Executive Chef。我们一群人用我们熟悉的语言天南地北的谈了好多以后，我的肚子实在按耐不住，饿了。我们先告辞，然后吃完饭去。

在餐厅那里，还是遇见了Vincent Tan（当然啦！），他向我询问我们坐在哪里，然后为我们碰上一人一碗热腾腾的槟城福建面！

马尔代夫的槟城福建面（iPhone)

还说：“不好意思啦，我没有黄面，用spaghetti代替了！”

哪还有什么不好意思，我们才不好意思呢！有大厨为我们下厨，是我们的荣幸！

就这样，我们在马尔代夫，吃一碗Executive Chef为我们的煮的槟城福建面。

真是爽啊 :)

Sun, Sea, Beach! Glorious Island Holidays at Maldives

Different shade of blue caused by the sudden change in depth of the sea bed

I've always had a love-hate relationship with island holidays. I love the sun, the blue blue sea, the sandy beaches, the relaxing days, the calming sound of waves, the quiet underwater world, and forever busy fishes!

But, my skin doesn't love it so much. Every time I expose myself too much to UV on an island holidays, I come back with serious rashes that eventually leads to MC. Never fails!

However bad the condition is, I still brave myself to go for another one.

Maldives, a place where many claim to be paradise, best spot for honeymooners. A place we know, it's very expensive!

The luxurious over water villa

Nothing seems to beat sunbathing with a bottle of icy cold water

We've got our air tickets to Maldives at cheap. We bought them during MAS promotion, and it was cheaper than AirAsia and Tiger Airways! And that, I swear to you that is going to be the cheapest item for your entire stay in Maldives.

We stayed in Holiday Inn Kandooma Resort which was having some promotion when we booked. However, even with the promotion, it was the most expensive hotel lodging I've ever paid for since I started actively travel. But, if you were to compared with the other highly recommended luxury resorts, Holiday Inn may be one of the cheapest with reasonable good standard and service. (I'll talk about the hotel in a separate entry)

I totally agree with the claim that Maldives is one of the best spot for honeymooners, well, luxurious honeymooners at least.

You wake up every morning, enjoying a nice walk on the island, strolling with your lover slowly to the cafe to have your daily 1-2 hours breakfast. After breakfast, if you have not prepared for a sun bathing or swimming, you might again, make your way back to the room, change and get ready.

Then, you'll be applying sun block (or sun tan for some people) by the beach for each other. You might be reading a book by the beach, listening to music, meditating, sleeping, swimming, snorkeling etc. That might be another few hours of your day.

Swimming and snorkeling at the lagoon

Just find any of the corner to relax

Everybody has a fave spot to read a book

By the time it hit 1-2pm, the sun is scorching hot to stay under it. You go back to your room, enjoy an outdoor shower. Probably, fall asleep again? Or, go to a spa for massage or facial. Or, to gym. Or, to read on your hammock.

Or you can hide in the bushes like these hermit crabs

In the evening, when the sun is kinder. Everybody is out from room again. Some playing volleyball, some swimming, some learning surfing or sailing, some just taking pictures. Then, you'll have another 1-2 hours or even longer time for dinner.

Sail away to the paradise

By the time you go back to your room, you're so relaxed, you might fall asleep before 9pm. And you sleep all the way through until you wake up in the morning, naturally without the alarm clock at 6am to catch a glimpse of the sunrise.

The sunrise

The sunset

It does sound like a perfect relaxing holiday isn't it?

Until you want to join other activities. Every single activities are charged. Snorkeling, diving, cruise to picnic island, fishing, searching for sea turtle, searching for whale shark etc. We didn't join all the activities obviously, but The Man did diving and we went for snorkel with whale shark together. Snorkel with whale shark was the highlight of my trip (will talk about this in later entry), however, the price was USD199 per pax, without tax. After tax, we paid almost USD500 in total for 2 pax. For the whale shark!

Besides, the short snorkel we had after seeing the whale shark was nothing compared to what we had in Sipadan Island. Same goes to The Man's diving trip. Disappointment of lack of beautiful corals and rare fishes makes us conclude that South East Asia still hold better spots for diving and snorkeling. We might be wrong for making this conclusion based on one small island among the thousands in Maldives. But comparing just Kandooma Island and Sipadan Island, Kandooma is nothing compared to Sipadan, underwater.

So I shall say Maldives is only paradise on land. The luxurious hotel that makes you feel like you deserves every single good service they can provide, at a price of course.

My colleague did say something very interesting about luxurious island getaway. We pay to be trapped in the island.

From source

No doubt.

But man, I paid to be trapped and I enjoyed to be trapped. (Sound unreasonably stupid!)

I enjoyed because it's the most healthy 5 days I've been; I enjoyed because it's so relaxing I forgot everything in a further red dot island; I enjoyed because I never get tired of the different shades of blue every single day.

But will I go back again? Well, most likely not. I guess I will explore the cheaper and better spots in South East Asia instead.

频频肚子饿，却不知道该吃什么

每个人对怀孕都有自己的一套。好多不可以吃的，好多不可以做的事情。

可是，一人一套，每人不同，结果听多了就越来越混淆。究竟谁对谁错，谁能说清楚。所以后来，我决定听医生的，当然还有妈妈的。妈妈生了我们三个，虽然没有牛高马壮（基因问题），我们也都健健康康的，妈妈一直以来被姑丈称“铁做”的。所以，依照妈妈的，应该没错。

农历新年回来以后，不知是否新年不停地大吃大喝，把胃口撑大了。回到这里，可痛苦。每两个小时就肚子饿。在这种非常时期，不是说想要吃就吃，太多吃不得的食物。结果，肚子饿变成一种负担。

究竟应该吃什么！！！！

正当胃口渐渐恢复正常，大概是8－9周左右吧，我的味蕾开始出现让人极度不舒服的变化。我的舌尖上，无缘无故出现让人难受的metallic taste。这个taste可让我痛苦了。好多食物吃进嘴巴里，就变另一种味道。好多食物渐渐变得不好吃，尤其好多蔬菜让人觉得难以下咽。但逼于无奈，宝宝健康成长需要蔬菜，我还是逼自己吃。

这味道让我开始嗜甜嗜辣。唯有这两种味道可以帮助掩蔽metallic taste。至于甜食，最有效的便是水果，因此，我变成无水果不欢，每天下午晚上各一种水果，柳橙、苹果、梨子、芒果、草莓、杨桃、香蕉、猕猴桃等等，天天替换，反正家里这少有两种水果，办公室里还有一种。不过，最常吃的还是苹果，最爱。

Fruits! Glorious fruits! (摄于2011年巴塞罗那）

怀孕真的让人变得很奇怪！

除了味蕾的变化，我本身没有对任何食物有什么craving。这也成为我头疼的问题之一。多数孕妇觉得craving造成了麻烦的问题，想要吃某种食物的时候，遍寻不着。而我呢，吃饭时间到了，面对种种的选择，一个都看不上。没有一样特别想吃。结果同同事吃午餐的时候，在小贩中心转了一圈又一圈，看了一次又一次，都不知道该吃什么。很多时候，都是为了吃而吃。

晚餐比较容易决定，总是由雪柜里有什么就煮什么，就不必想太多。 而且，雪柜里的groceries多半是同男人周末一同买的，他已经帮我决定了一半 :)

顶着肚子过新年

带着这个全家上下都开心的消息回家过年，其实不容易。

第一、新年之前买的裤子，竟然已经开始穿不下，或者穿的不舒服。幸好，我有常常有好“空头”的妈妈和姐姐，除夕在娘家吃过团圆饭之后，我们去做最后的努力，而买了一些比较宽松和舒适的衣服。年除夕买新衣，我还是头一遭。

第二、有太多太多不可以吃的东西。咖啡和酒，一丁点都沾不了。而且，生菜也不可碰！偏偏我们在家过年，每年都有娘惹的“鱿鱼炒”。而这道菜最好吃的方法，就是把菜裹在生菜里。而我就吃不得！有得看没得吃，你说多可怜！

第三、就是不可以告诉别人我怀孕了。华人的习俗，在怀孕初期的三个月，是不可以告知别人的。因为怀孕初期有可能会有点不稳定，因此，多多少少有pantang。不告诉别人不打紧，可是有人问我呢？我该怎么答？大年初一头一天，我的二姨眼睛尖尖，那个五周没多大的肚子就被她看穿了！结果，说什么不让人知道，没三两下，全家上上下下都知道！

回家过年之后没多久，又到产检的时候。安排了晚上的时间，这样男人也可以一同去。没想到，才相差两周，就可以听见宝宝的心跳。而且，四肢也刚刚长出来，在超音波里可以看见。

七周大的宝宝

或许已经完全接受了我即将当妈妈的事实，第二次产检比第一次轻松得多。医生也同样察觉了，真不好意思。照超声波的时候，医生说，是一个宝宝。我松了一口气！两个太难照顾了。

根据医生的计算，预产期将会是9月25日。

真奇妙，第一次照超声波的时候，宝宝才一个圆圈般大小。第二次，宝宝已在成型中，可清晰听见如火车班的心跳声，还有刚刚长出的limb buds，而且她／他已经15.7mm大了！

Chicken Stew

The Man loves stew, anything stew, and his favourite is seafood stew. So far he had called the seafood stew in DB Bistro his favourite, best stew he can find in the town.

But seafood is so hard to handle, and so hard to get very fresh seafood, no luck to get them from supermarket and I had not ventured to any wet market as of yet. I'm scared! :P

As per The Man's request to try stew some time ago, I tried making chicken stew. And he loves it :) He likes it so much, we've made for ourselves and also when we had his friends invited to our party. What's best about stew? You keep the leftovers in the fridge, and they taste even better the next day! Yay!

I've always cooked the clear soup based chicken stew. And to my surprise, even we have loved it so much, I've never had a proper photo taken of the stew. I'll make sure I take a nice one and share the recipe in the future.

Anyway, today I decided to try with a tomato soup based chicken stew. It's nice and fragrant, but somehow I prefer the clear soup ones that we've always eaten.

Chicken stew

Ingredients:
1. 2 chicken drumsticks
2. 1 big potato
3. 1 carrot
4. 2 stalks of celery
5. 1/2 onion
6. 2 cloves of garlic
7. 500ml chicken stock
8. 3-4tbsp of tomato paste
9. Dried herbs

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius
2. Dice potato, carrot, celery and onion
3. Slightly fry the chicken drumstick on the pan until they're slightly brown and take them out from the pan and leave them aside
4. Sautee onion and celery
5. Add carrots, potatoes, garlic (slightly smash the cloves), and drumsticks into the pan
6. Stir in the tomato paste and add the chicken stock and herbs
7. Cover the pan and bring the soup to simmer
8. Pour the soup into a casserole and put into the oven for 30mins
9. Serve with pasta or bread

The recipe had suggested to add 1kg of drumsticks to the 500ml chicken stock. I always prefer more soup than the chicken, and more potatoes than chicken, I've chose to only use two drumstick. You can tweak the amount to your preference.

I think for a tomato paste based soup, I would still prefer a minestrone. But oh well, this is good enough for me tomorrow, I'll just have to heat my dinner up!

小小电饭煲实验再接再厉

续上周失败数次，但终于成功之后，我决定再尝试一些不同的菜式。

周一晚上，一如往常我为我两准备晚餐。一心想做个懒人，我用小电饭煲煮饭，上层蒸豆腐配鸡肉和橄榄菜，再用oven把周末煮的chicken stew弄热。唯一需要开锅煮的，就是超蒜苗配腊肠。

结果，下层的饭还是太湿了！晚餐虽然还是吃得成，但是还是气煞！

为什么只要上层蒸东西，下层的饭就太湿？

妈妈劝我蒸东西的时候，下层的水就减少一点点。

周二晚上，我不放弃。因为自己吃晚餐，所以只煮四格的米，加了三个半的水，比平时少半格，上层蒸鸡肉。

我的米饭终于都正常了！！！！

而且鸡肉也蒸得可以。

蒸鸡肉 (iPhone)

这道蒸鸡肉是在面子书上，看见别人分享的。做法超简单，适合懒人。

材料：
1. 鸡肉（最好是去骨的chicken thighs)
2. 葱
3. 少许盐和麻油

做法：
1. 将鸡肉切块，涂上少许盐。
2. 把鸡肉摆在盘子里，撒上麻油（多少由个人喜好决定）。
3. 依据电饭煲的指示开始蒸。
4. 蒸好以后，把切好的葱洒在鸡肉上。把盖子关上，稍微焖五分钟。

这小电饭煲煮的不是很快，多半要等30－40分钟左右。等待的同时，我准备蒜茸和芹菜，待饭快熟之时才下锅炒一炒。

炒芹菜配肉松 (iPhone)

虽然要吃一顿晚餐大概要等上40分钟，不过花费的精力极少，等待的同时还可以看看电视。

懒人们，可以试试 :)

我的第一次

对于分享第一次，我挣扎了一阵子。 

该不该写、可不可以公布、该不该分享、如何开口……都是我考虑过的问题，毕竟第一次，而且是何等私人的题目，不斟酌斟酌一下都不可以。 

我知道我不想在面子书上分享，那里总有一群自以为很认识你的朋友，喧喧嚷嚷，搞到很不好意思。但是，我习惯写部落，而且很想为自己记录这个初体验。所以，一番思考以后，我决定在我浏览次数很低的部落给自己做一个记录。

今天，我怀胎15周5天。 发现怀孕以来，身体陆陆续续出现了变化。不过为了有更好的纪录，我决定chronologically地写，就从我发现自己怀孕的那一刻开始。

发现怀孕了！

对于经期正常的女生们，发现怀孕并不太困难。经期如果迟来报道，我们多半就疑神疑鬼。

疑神疑鬼那一周，我一直放不下“月经还没报道”这回事。不管我在做什么事，我都一直“想念”着我的大姨妈。而且，很努力地回想，究竟是什么时候干的好事？而男人更无辜，我每天每夜都在问他。“你觉得我是不是怀孕？”、“为什么大姨妈还没有来？不可能不来的。”、“我觉得不是怀孕啦，可能太压力，迟来报道。”……

这些种种问题足足困扰了我一周，折磨了我一周。折腾一番，我谴男人买验孕棒回家。而他在药房看见买一送一，就带了两支回来。

试用验孕棒之前，我一直执着的认为我没有怀孕。

第一、我的身体曾经几次为了我有更完美的假日，而自动把经期提早或延迟。而恰巧，还有两个月我们就要到马尔代夫度假，我认为那是我的身体听见假日的呼唤，而自己改期了。

第二、男人买验孕棒的那一天，我有点儿spotting。我以为，那就是月经快来了。

但是，由于我处于denial stage，我也忽略了一些微症状。比如说，在我没有改变饮食习惯的情况之下，体重增加一公斤；比如说，即便每天努力做运动，肚腩好像越来越大；比如说，经期前多半出现的青春痘并没有报道；比如说，胸部胀胀的，比平时月经来潮时严重。

Spotting之后，足足一天，月经还是不见踪影。我实在按耐不住，不管验孕棒指示上说明，最好用早晨的第一泡尿，下午时分就验了。

Negative！

我还因此喝了两杯咖啡！

结果的结果，两天以后，迟迟不见的大姨妈还是不来。男人说，肯定是怀孕了。

我还记得周一早上，那是回家过年之前两天。我按照指示，早晨的第一泡尿验了。

Positive！双线！

如果双线很浅，那算不算双线？答案是，那根本就是双线！！！

我以为自己眼睛蒙，赶紧戴上眼镜再看一次，再让男人看一次。我盯着验孕棒可能足足有十分钟吧，才渐渐接受事实。

验孕棒也有不准的时候，因此看妇产科医生要紧，尤其一定要在回家过年前把事情搞清楚。我打电话，足足打了三间诊所，终于都有人肯收留我walk in。我也不管三七二十一，请假就到诊所等。

等待的时候，有多煎熬我就不说了。只能够说，还好有部手机，还有两位陪我无聊的朋友，我才安然度过两个小时。

我并不知道怀孕的初期，超音波是不从肚皮照的。医生要我打开双脚的那一刻，原本已经非常紧张的我，更是雪上加霜。医生很不解，为什么你这么紧张？她没辙，一直逗我说话，才勉强照到了。

她用短短的两秒，指着荧幕上的黑点，然后说：“Mommy, you're pregnant。”

超声波显示的小黑点，就是五周大的宝宝

真是天旋地转～～～

大家请别误会，我并不是讨厌小孩，而是……在没有计划的情况之下怀孕了，我有点难以接受。

我趁着请了假，带着消息到男人那里一起吃午餐。男人很高兴，而我还是那幅“我接受不到咯”的样子。饭后回家，我拨电话给爸爸妈妈。可是，爸爸接电话的那一刻，我竟然没办法传达消息……没路用。爸爸把电话交给妈妈，我才说了。可能是女人的东西吧～

妈妈听得出来我好有点恍惚，叫我休息，好好睡觉。

说也奇怪，我一觉醒来，早上的讯息也渐渐沉淀在心里。

一觉醒来，我跟自己说，是的，我快当妈妈了。

小小饭锅

上周末回家，妈妈叮嘱我把这个新玩意儿带回来。自从二月爸爸妈妈到新加坡来小住几天以后，妈妈有点后悔将家里的那个超级无敌大饭锅送给我。

“你们平时才两个人吃饭，用这个饭锅太费电了！”

结果，她回家才没多久，就whatsapp我一张小小电饭煲的照片，说那是买给我的。

我们才两个人，用不着两个电饭煲吧！

不过，太后有令，谁敢说不？就这样，我们提着小电饭煲老远坐飞机带进新加坡。

很可爱的小电饭煲

我看它这么可爱，周二下班就决定试试。结果的结果，失败到贴底！盒子里的说明不清不楚，结果我的饭煮来煮去都熟不了。更别说上层的蒸肉⋯⋯我气傻，打电话向妈妈投诉。左等右等，从很有时间，到肚子饿的咕咕叫，只好放弃，把饭全倒了，下楼打包去。

第二天，我还是不放弃。按着说明书和朋友的指示在做一次。结果，说明书里的一杯米一杯半水是完全错误的，我们两人只好吃湿湿粘粘的饭⋯⋯男人很好，把饭都给吃完，而我呢，实在忍无可忍，吃了一半倒了。

第一天煮不熟，第二天太湿，第三天应该对了！

结果的结果，第三天终于成功！不过，由于我有点担心这饭锅需要的水比别家的多（说明书实在写的太多），我煮半杯米，加了比半杯多一点点的水。有点湿，不过过得去，我把饭都吃完了～

因此，今天第四天， 我深信自己一定成功，我真的成功好好的用这个可爱的小饭锅了！

把材料都丢进锅

材料：

1. 四格的米加四格的水 （我一个人吃）
2. 半条小腊肠
3. 半个马铃薯／土豆
4. 一把green peas
5. 一丁点酱油（少过一茶匙，因为腊肠已经很有味道）

把腊肠用热水烫一烫，再浸冷水，然后把外皮去掉（都是妈妈教的！）。把腊肠和马铃薯切丁，然后将所有材料倒进锅里，稍微搅拌。在外锅令加一杯水，把盖子盖上，开电。这样子大概要煮半小时。煮好以后，把饭留在饭锅里大约5－10分钟，就有香喷喷的饭啦～

懒人的成品

等待的同时，我煮了一小碗的蛋花汤。然后就窝在沙发上看电视，做“沙发上的马铃薯”！

这种煮法很适合我这个懒人，尤其下班回来，懒惰了，这样煮最容易。不过，这样的煮法真的不能天天煮，我看没到一个星期我就厌了。

再试试看吧～
